oh yeah, i am. hey kellin. i'll be there.

bring anyone 😏😏

alright. thanks kellin, i'll see you there.

"frankie?" gerard called.

"what's up?" frank appeared out of the bedroom and into the living room, where gerard was.

"i was invited to a party tonight at my friend's place and they said i could bring anyone. do you wanna come?"

frank nodded. "sure, i'll go."

gerard thought about it. "pete always has some sort of drinks there. you're only twenty."

frank chuckled. "i can pass it off. be a rule breaker, haha."

"okay." gerard said nervously. he was scared for frank, he didn't know who was going to be at the party, nor how drunk himself or frank could get. or even worse, gerard thought.

--

at around 1pm, the two went out for pizza. frank seemed happier than usual, gerard noticed. he also seemed to really like pizza, for whatever reason that was.

after they ate lunch, they decided to get ready for the party. it was almost 7:30pm. frank reapplied the makeup he did just this morning, yet gerard didn't.

"are you gonna do the red eyeshadow thing?" frank asked gerard as he was finishing up the x's on his eyes.

"um... nah." gerard responded.

"why not?" frank asked.

"i don't know. i just don't feel like it." gerard shrugged. frank just nodded as they soon exited the apartment, and out the building.

frank was oddly excited, he hasn't been to a party in a while. he almost forgot how it was like. they walked to pete's place, which was in the quieter part of new york city.

gerard rang the doorbell shortly before a tall man in a suit and bowtie answered the door.

"hey dallon." gerard said to the guy while hugging him.

"hey gerard! it's nice to see you again." dallon responded. frank stood there blankly as they finished up their hug.

"hi, i'm dallon." dallon extended his hand towards frank, asking for him to shake it.

frank smiled, shaking dallon's hand. "i'm frankie." gerard gave him a cutesy look.

"nice to meet you, frankie." dallon smirked as he led them into the house.

frank saw a lot of boys. he wasn't attracted to them, but rather scared. he was worried as to what he was getting himself into for the night.

"gerard!" two guys came up to gerard, one evidently shorter than the other.

"hey guys." gerard hugged both of them. "this is my boyfriend, frankie."

frank waved, blushing from shyness. "hi i'm frank."

the shorter guy put an arm around frank. "ooh gerard. is he the someone you were talking about earlier?"

gerard nodded. "yeah."

"he's cute. i'm kellin." kellin poked at frank's cheek as frank stood there uncomfortably.

vic yanked kellin by the wrist. "hey! you have me, babe," kellin walked over to vic drowsily. "oh, by the way, i'm vic."

"nice to meet you." frank said quietly.

vic and kellin smiled as they walked away from him.

"gee, i feel out of pl-"

"hey big brother!" frank heard someone else's voice.

"hi mikey!" gerard said, hugging his brother.

"hey frank." mikey looked towards frank.

"hi mikey." frank replied.

mikey and gerard talked and talked until a guy, who frank only knew as 'sex machine,' took mikey away.

"who was that?" frank asked gerard.

"oh that was pete, mikey's boyfriend."

frank lifted an eyebrow. "mikey's bi, too?"

"just straight up gay." gerard responded.

"oh." frank replied, still feeling nervous and out of place.
